Now, looking at those grand works of sand art, consider the minuscule elements they are built out of. Another artist, photographer Gary Greenberg, zooms in to capture the shape and form of grains of sand. The resulting ethereal images immediately call to mind the words of William Blake, "To see a world in a grain of sand."

Grains of sand

This is what sand looks like up close.

This is what SAND really is!!!

Thanks to Juxtapoz (and my girlfriend) for pointing me to Carl Jara's work and thanks to Beautiful Decay for pointing me to Greenberg's.
